Angelus Pearlescent Prince Purple is a technical iridescent coating specifically engineered for high-flexibility applications on leather, vinyl, and canvas. Part of the specialized Pearlescent collection, this professional-grade, water-based formula features light-refracting pigments designed to create a shimmering, deep purple "pearl" effect that remains pliable even in high-stress areas like the toe box and side panels. By creating a permanent bond rather than a thick surface layer, it effectively eliminates the risks of cracking or peeling during constant mechanical movement.

To ensure a factory-standard finish, the surface must be prepared with a deglazer to remove original topcoats and oils. Applying the paint in light, incremental layers allows the pearlescent particles to align for a self-leveling, smooth appearance that is resistant to brush marks. Once the 24-hour curing cycle is complete, the Prince Purple finish becomes an industrial-strength, waterproof barrier that provides long-term resistance against abrasive scuffs and environmental color fading.

  • Formula: Water-based, high-flexibility acrylic polymer with iridescent pigments optimized for permanent adhesion on footwear.

  • Application: Suitable for use with brushes, sponges, or airbrushes (thinning with 2-Thin is required for airbrush applications).

  • Coverage: Semi-opaque pearlescent pigment provides a royal shimmering finish; ideal for luxury-themed customs or adding a sophisticated iridescent pop to leather goods.

  • Durability: Formulated for maximum resistance to water penetration, scuffing, and UV wear.

  • Sizes: Available in 1 oz and 4 oz containers to support both precision restoration and high-volume shop work.

PAINTING LEATHER

1. Prepare leather surfaces using 3-5 passes of Angelus Leather Preparer & Deglazer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag. (acetone can also be used).

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. When dry, wipe with microfiber cloth to remove any remaining dust particles.

3. Apply Angelus Paint with paint brush, airbrush (at least 0.35mm nozzle) or sponge. Apply 3-5 coats or until desired coverage has been reached. Less coats can be used for line work and detail work.

Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

4. Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before allowing paint to bend or flex. Be careful of flying lint or debris getting on the shoe to avoid imperfections. Longer curing time ensures better durability.

5. To add extra protection or customize the finish, apply Angelus 4-Coat Clear Coat in Flat, Satin, Glossy, or Matte. Use 1-2 layers for the best results. 1-2 layers on top.

PAINTING CANVAS/DENIM - SHOES, CLOTHING, AND MORE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get out all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the canvas. 

2. Make sure there is adequate dry time and that you wipe off and get all the cleaner out.

3. (Optional) If you want to make the paint soak in and not be as rubbery textured on canvas we suggest using our product 2-Soft mixed with our paint. You can paint Angelus paint directly on canvas without it but it just will feel more like a screen print then part of the shoe. When using 2-Soft you must heat set.

4. Paint with 3-5 light layers of Angelus Paint. Make sure to leave to dry 15-30 minutes between layers.

5. Leave to dry. 

(Optional) No additional protection is really needed as the paint has soaked into the canvas. If you want to change the sheen to a matte or glossy look instead we do suggest our 4-Coat Clear Coat.

Great products!

Angelus paints are amazing. Beautiful, vibrant colors, great coverage, no flaking. They are beginner friendly, very easy to use. This was my first leather painting project, and I was very impressed with how well the colors built up with every layer. I allowed ample drying time between coats, and after almost a year of carrying the purse, I still have no flaws whatsoever in the paint or glitter.

Prince Purple is Gorgeous!!!!

Like all other Angelus products, the Prince Purple applies smoothly and has excellent coverage. The pearlescent aspect of the paint is luxurious and sexy! I am looking for used purses to rehab, so I can use it some more... maybe I need matching shoes....

Pearlescent Prince Purple

First and foremost, I highly encourage everyone to consider buying/using an airbrush to apply this paint. I used an airbrush and paint brush to compare and the difference is incredible. The brushed on paint looks OK, the airbrushed paint looks amazing! It is exactly as I expected it and am glad I went with this color.
